OK
It's visually amazing. There's no question of it "holding up well" in that regard.
It's just boring as hell.
Just like Akira.
I'm sure it will be fine. Just not very bladerunnery.
Like that new judge dredd movie that is mostly ok if you ignore what it should have been.
I didn't like that the new Judge Dredd movie was stuck in one building. I feel like if we're going to do the 2000AD thing I want to see crazy stuff in big settings and mega cities. I don't think the Stallone movie is very good but I think it's closer to what I want out of that property setting wise.
The new dredd wasn't so much Dredd, as it was fanfiction for "High-Rise"
Its like someone read/watched that story and said to them self, "what is the outcome of this story? There is still a world out there. There is still a State with police and laws." So they wrote a script for the Law dealing with the events of "High-Rise"
The new bladerunner will probably be ok as long as you pretend it is about the fully human cop from Ghost in the Shell.
I thought that remake was pretty good!
Philistine.
The new one lacked any kind of punch and tried so hard to parody steve jobs ( which was pretty so so) it didn't do much else.
The first did a pretty good job of making fun of 1980s us industry and media and greed. And the new one was missing a lot of that.
The new one forgot to have jokes, yeah, but at least it kinda realized who the original joke was on.
It's not amazing, but as far as 21st century remakes go, just about every other one is much, much worse.
